FAQ
Answers use only sourced facts; unverified items are marked.
- What is Hex Reverse?
- A single-player roguelike deckbuilding card game from IsaoWorks, released on 7 October 2026 for Windows. Battles take place on a field of 19 hexagonal spaces where you and an opponent take turns placing cards; each card has six values, one per side, and when your card touches an opponent's card the values on the touching edges are compared, with the higher value flipping the opposing card to your side. Each run is a series of battles, and between runs you build up your collection at a base.
- When did Hex Reverse release?
- On 7 October 2026 (Oct 7, 2026), according to its Steam store page. The listing is marked as released rather than coming soon, and the game ships on Windows with English and Japanese listed as supported languages. No Early Access period is listed, and there is no demo.
- Is Hex Reverse free?
- It is listed as Free To Play in the US, and the store description adds a launch pricing detail: the game is free during the first 30 days after release, and if you add it to your Steam library during that free period you keep permanent access even after it becomes a paid title. After the free period it moves to paid availability with regional pricing applied through Steam, and that eventual price is not published yet.
- How does the Hex Reverse board work?
- Battles take place on a field of 19 hexagonal spaces, and the two sides alternate placing cards. Each card carries six values, one for every side, and only the edges that touch another card are compared: if your value is higher, the opposing card flips to your side. Because the comparison is directional, placement decides which of a card's six values is ever tested, and the store page frames the game around reading the board and controlling as much territory as possible.
